Be ThankfulBe thankful for whatever you got, 'cause you got to be sure to be sure that you're notUngrateful, 'cause this life is a gift and the more that you have should be the more that you give So many contemplating whether their cup is half empty or their cup is half full It's just a bunch of bullshit, be thankful, be thankful Hey my brother why you wearing that frown? Has the system been cheating you, beating and breaking you down? You've lost sight of everything that you stood for And now you're caught up in the glamour and they got you wanting more More of their illusionist, hypnotist politricks They got you on a puppet string, dangling, it makes me sick Just to see how long its been We been held captive as prisoners in our very own skin But listen up my brethren because my friend Just when you think that things couldn't get no worse, remember the last shall be the first Be thankful for whatever you got, 'cause you got to be sure to be sure that you're not Ungrateful, 'cause this life is a gift and the more that you have should be the more that you give Hey my sister, you got no mister, it seems like the end of the world When you're a charming and intelligent, graceful and independent, young and beautiful girl But you're searching for that validation, get stuck up in bad relations over and over again And you just can't see that when you give love to so many men, there's nothing left for yourself or your friends But don't you fear, Jah Love is near To lift you up and make things clear To hold you close and hold your hand To heal your heart and help you overstand To show you and assure you that you are much more Than this whole world has made you bargain for A daughter of the Most High Jah, a mother, sister, lover This life is just a series of steps, some forward, some backward But don't be confused, sometimes when you lose your life moves forward And remember, the past only lasted when you were living for today 'Cause the minute you live in regret is the moment you let your future slip away So be here now, don't fight the river flow Be here now, you don't wanna miss the big show Be here now, there ain't no better place to be Be here now, 'cause what will be will be So be here now, don't spend all of your days with your head in the clouds Be here now, 'cause its so hard to watch the sunset, with a heart full of regret, wondering if the best is yet to come Be here now, 'cause who knows what the future will bring anyhow Be here now, don't watch all of these moments pass, stuck behind the looking glass, wondering what the fates will allow Be thankful for whatever you got, 'cause you got to be sure to be sure that you're not Ungrateful, 'cause this life is a gift and the more that you have should be the more that you give So many contemplating whether their cup is half empty or their cup is half full It's just a bunch of bullshit, be thankful, be thankful |
